I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in West Hendon but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in West Hendon
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest West Hendon conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am due to move house in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in West Hendon. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent however this should only be done after the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in West Hendon or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in West Hendon.
We were going to get a DIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any West Hendon solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint West Hendon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
Will our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in West Hendon.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in West Hendon. Plenty of people will buy a house in West Hendon, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in West Hendon. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s solicitors will also carry out an environmental search. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in West Hendon I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in West Hendon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in West Hendon. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in West Hendon - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in negotiating a lease extension in West Hendon. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Where there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a West Hendon property is First Floor Flat 61 Wilberforce Road in March 2014. The premium payable was £10,130 and the case was remitted back to the Willesden County Court to effect the Vesting Order (Claim No 3W103100). This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 71 years.
